We describe the application of convolutional neural network style transfer to the problem of improved visualization of underdrawings and ghost-paintings in fine art oil paintings. Such underdrawings and hidden paintings are typically revealed by x-ray or infrared techniques which yield images that are grayscale, and thus devoid of color and full style information. Past methods for inferring color in underdrawings have been based on physical x-ray fluorescence spectral imaging of pigments in ghost-paintings and are thus expensive, time consuming, and require equipment not available in most conservation studios. Our algorithmic methods do not need such expensive physical imaging devices. Our proof-of-concept system, applied to works by Pablo Picasso and Leonardo, reveal colors and designs that respect the natural segmentation in the ghost-painting. We believe the computed images provide insight into the artist and associated oeuvre not available by other means. Our results strongly suggest that future applications based on larger corpora of paintings for training will display color schemes and designs that even more closely resemble works of the artist. For these reasons refinements to our methods should find wide use in art conservation, connoisseurship, and art analysis.

We apply generative adversarial convolutional neural networks to the problem of style transfer to underdrawings and ghost-images in x-rays of fine art paintings with a special focus on enhancing their spatial resolution. We build upon a neural archit
ecture developed for the related problem of synthesizing high-resolution photo-realistic image from semantic label maps. Our neural architecture achieves high resolution through a hierarchy of generators and discriminator sub-networks, working throughout a range of spatial resolutions. This coarse-to-fine generator architecture can increase the effective resolution by a factor of eight in each spatial direction, or an overall increase in number of pixels by a factor of 64. We also show that even just a few examples of human-generated image segmentations can greatly improve -- qualitatively and quantitatively -- the generated images. We demonstrate our method on works such as Leonardos Madonna of the carnation and the underdrawing in his Virgin of the rocks, which pose several special problems in style transfer, including the paucity of representative works from which to learn and transfer style information.
Visual design is associated with the use of some basic design elements and principles. Those are applied by the designers in the various disciplines for aesthetic purposes, relying on an intuitive and subjective process. Thus, numerical analysis of d
esign visuals and disclosure of the aesthetic value embedded in them are considered as hard. However, it has become possible with emerging artificial intelligence technologies. This research aims at a neural network model, which recognizes and classifies the design principles over different domains. The domains include artwork produced since the late 20th century; professional photos; and facade pictures of contemporary buildings. The data collection and curation processes, including the production of computationally-based synthetic dataset, is genuine. The proposed model learns from the knowledge of myriads of original designs, by capturing the underlying shared patterns. It is expected to consolidate design processes by providing an aesthetic evaluation of the visual compositions with objectivity.
The spatial distributions of different types of cells could reveal a cancer cell growth pattern, its relationships with the tumor microenvironment and the immune response of the body, all of which represent key hallmarks of cancer. However, manually
recognizing and localizing all the cells in pathology slides are almost impossible. In this study, we developed an automated cell type classification pipeline, ConvPath, which includes nuclei segmentation, convolutional neural network-based tumor, stromal and lymphocytes classification, and extraction of tumor microenvironment related features for lung cancer pathology images. The overall classification accuracy is 92.9% and 90.1% in training and independent testing datasets, respectively. By identifying cells and classifying cell types, this pipeline can convert a pathology image into a spatial map of tumor, stromal and lymphocyte cells. From this spatial map, we can extracted features that characterize the tumor micro-environment. Based on these features, we developed an image feature-based prognostic model and validated the model in two independent cohorts. The predicted risk group serves as an independent prognostic factor, after adjusting for clinical variables that include age, gender, smoking status, and stage.
Universal Neural Style Transfer (NST) methods are capable of performing style transfer of arbitrary styles in a style-agnostic manner via feature transforms in (almost) real-time. Even though their unimodal parametric style modeling approach has been
proven adequate to transfer a single style from relatively simple images, they are usually not capable of effectively handling more complex styles, producing significant artifacts, as well as reducing the quality of the synthesized textures in the stylized image. To overcome these limitations, in this paper we propose a novel universal NST approach that separately models each sub-style that exists in a given style image (or a collection of style images). This allows for better modeling the subtle style differences within the same style image and then using the most appropriate sub-style (or mixtures of different sub-styles) to stylize the content image. The ability of the proposed approach to a) perform a wide range of different stylizations using the sub-styles that exist in one style image, while giving the ability to the user to appropriate mix the different sub-styles, b) automatically match the most appropriate sub-style to different semantic regions of the content image, improving existing state-of-the-art universal NST approaches, and c) detecting and transferring the sub-styles from collections of images are demonstrated through extensive experiments.
In order to deploy deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on resource-limited devices, many model pruning methods for filters and weights have been developed, while only a few to layer pruning. However, compared with filter pruning and weight prun
ing, the compact model obtained by layer pruning has less inference time and run-time memory usage when the same FLOPs and number of parameters are pruned because of less data moving in memory. In this paper, we propose a simple layer pruning method using fusible residual convolutional block (ResConv), which is implemented by inserting shortcut connection with a trainable information control parameter into a single convolutional layer. Using ResConv structures in training can improve network accuracy and train deep plain networks, and adds no additional computation during inference process because ResConv is fused to be an ordinary convolutional layer after training. For layer pruning, we convert convolutional layers of network into ResConv with a layer scaling factor. In the training process, the L1 regularization is adopted to make the scaling factors sparse, so that unimportant layers are automatically identified and then removed, resulting in a model of layer reduction. Our pruning method achieves excellent performance of compression and acceleration over the state-of-the-arts on different datasets, and needs no retraining in the case of low pruning rate. For example, with ResNet-110, we achieve a 65.5%-FLOPs reduction by removing 55.5% of the parameters, with only a small loss of 0.13% in top-1 accuracy on CIFAR-10.
